'The Boy in the Last Row' actors Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook demonstrated their acting chemistry.

'The Boy in the Last Row' press conference was held on the 24th at Seoul M Gallery, Hotel Naru, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Director Kim Gyu-tae and actors Choi Min-sik and Choi Hyun-wook attended the event.

'The Boy in the Last Row' is a suspense drama depicting the story of 'Heo Moon-oh' (played by Choi Min-sik), a failed writer and professor of Korean literature, who discovers the genius of 'Lee Kang' (played by Choi Hyun-wook), the boy in the last row of the classroom, and becomes obsessed with his writing.

'The Boy in the Last Row' brings together acting veteran Choi Min-sik and rising star Choi Hyun-wook, showcasing a fresh yet overwhelming acting synergy.

'I didn't say that lightly,' Choi Min-sik said, 'I thought this drama would revolve around how well I react to actor Choi Hyun-wook's performance.' He added, ''Lee Kang' is a character who holds and shakes all the other characters from the center of the work. Especially, he constantly shakes 'Heo Moon-oh' up and down. I thought I just needed to go along with that flow.'

'I tried my best not to miss Hyun-wook's acting throughout the filming,' he continued. 'The more I worked on the project, the more I felt that no other actor could have played 'Lee Kang' besides Choi Hyun-wook. I watched him gradually become 'Lee Kang' himself.'

'One of Choi Hyun-wook's greatest charms is his eyes. For a character like the cunning boy, the eyes are crucial,' Choi Min-sik said while looking at Choi Hyun-wook's eyes, adding, 'They are truly mesmerizing,' which drew laughter from the audience.

'You will see later when you watch the work, but I believe viewers will also be captivated by actor Choi Hyun-wook's gaze in this drama,' he said, expressing his expectations.

'I learned a lot from the experience, not just through words,' Choi Hyun-wook said regarding his chemistry with senior actor Choi Min-sik. 'The senior actor in front of me, who was my co-star, even brought me water and seemed to guide me even better. It was a scene where I learned a lot, and I felt the Tik-Taka was great.'

'I was overwhelmed by the senior's tiger-like energy. It was an honor to feel that energy from the front, the side, or anywhere. I think I wouldn't have been able to act 'Lee Kang' this well if it hadn't been for Senior Min-sik,' he added.
